  1. Adversarial Learning for Neural Dialogue Generation (2017 · 1,063 citations)
    Neural chatbots trained with maximum likelihood tend to produce bland, repetitive, short-sighted replies. Hand-crafted RL rewards only capture a few chosen qualities. The authors instead take inspiration from the Turing test. A SEQ2SEQ generator is trained jointly with a discriminator, a hierarchical LSTM classifier…
  2. Reinforcement Learning on Web Interfaces Using Workflow-Guided Exploration (2018 · 119 citations)
    The paper tackles a core obstacle in teaching RL agents to operate websites (for example, booking a flight or forwarding an email).
